Answer:

PAROTID GLANDS.

Explanation:

This gland exits in pair in the mouth at the far either sides. Anterior to each ear. They are the largest in size among the salivary glands. They also produce saliva,together with enzyme amylase.

Inflammation and swelling of this gland in children is an infectious condition called Mumps.

Generally the salivary amylase enzyme produced breaks down carboyhdrate in the mouth.

It intiated starch digestion nby converting to maltose.

Answer:

Parotid glands

Explanation:

The parotid glands are also called exocrine glands. They produce  saliva to enable chewing and easy swallowing.

Salivary amylase enable the digestion of carbohydrates starting from the mouth. The salivary amylase produced, breaks down complex carbohydrates into smaller chains.

The ABO blood groups in humans are expressed as the IA, IB, and i alleles. The IA allele encodes the A blood group antigen, IB e
kramer

Answer:

Multiple alleles and codominance

Explanation:

Co dominance may be defined as the phenomena in which both the alleles can express themselves independently in heterozygous condition. The involvement of more than two alternative form of a single gene is known as multiple allele.

The ABO blood group represent the example of codominance and multiple allelism. In case of AB blood group both the alleles I(A) and I (B) express themselves in heterozygous condition and result in the formation of AB blood group. Different alleles like I(A), I(B), I(A)I(B),i are involved in case of ABO blood group, this shows multiple allele.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).

An inactive gene inherited from an ancestor is an example of which kind of evidence for evolution?
wlad13 [49]

The initial assessment of bats suggested they lacked the ability to synthesize vitamin C (Birney, Jenness, and Ayaz 1976). However, several recent studies have shown that approximately two thirds of different bat species have functionally expressed GULO genes (Cui et al. 2011a; Cui et al. 2011b). The various bat taxon taxa that lack the ability to make vitamin C have varying levels of deletion degradation in their GULOgenes and the patterns of sequence variation show that they are lineage independent events. Trying to explain the discontinuous GULO deletion patterns within a common descent paradigm has produced a variety of difficult contradictions for a coherent model of bat<span> evolution </span>(Cui et al. 2011b).

Loss of vitamin C pathway function and GULO gene degradation has also been detected in guinea pigs, great apes, and humans (Lachapelle and Drouin 2011; Nishikimi, Kawai, and Yagi 1992; Nishikimi et al. 1994; Ohta and Nishikimi 1999). In addition, naturally occurring scurvy and osteogenic disease pathologies related to GULO inactivating mutations and large-scale deletions have been documented in rats, mice, and pigs (Harris et al. 2005; Hasan et al. 2004; Jiao et al. 2005; Kawai et al. 1992; Mohan et al. 2005). Thus, degradation of the GULO gene in a wide array of mammals and birds is a relatively common occurrence.
